Hello,

I'm looking for a function that counts the occurences of a given character 
within a string.

f('|','ab|c|d') => 2


More precisely, I need to complete a vector of strings to ensure that all 
elements have the same count of a "separator":

        a|b|c
        a
        |a|b|c|d

        =>

        a|b|c||
        a||||
        |a|b|c|d

I guess that scan makes use of an internal function that would do the job...


Thanks,

Marc Mamin
